SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - Five teenagers under the age of 17 were injured when the driver of an SUV lost control and crashed into a tree Sunday night, police say. Three of them are now in critical condition.

According to police, a 16-year-old girl crashed a Ford Expedition off Johnson Ferry Road around 10 p.m. Investigators said the driver was on an instructional permit.

Channel 2's Tom Regan was in Sandy Springs, where investigators are trying to determine if speed was a factor in the crash.
